   Indeed a common site to see a Retriever with his hunting friend on the shores and rivers of Chesapeake Bay. Dog always takes this position in the boat and watches with keen eyes.

   note the E extension gene and expression of black in ducks …manner in whichi it hides white spotting. There is also now from UK announcements of what they call Aprcot and Silver Call Ducks.

   Yes, interesting lethal …hole in the skull. Wow that is playing with fire. Lots of them die just prior to hatching…

   I find the study of swans equally interesting…and possible connection to Canadian Geese crosses.

   The bald eagle is now taking my attention as it appears now have three mating pairs in our area. Like Osprey they want to be near water to fish …and guard all areas below their nesting areas.
   What makes this neat likely will watch hatchling this year come back to mate and build new nest next year.

    Many duck hunters will use Labs in this maner. This hunter likely a very good one has the jacket of love on his dog. Kudos to him.

    I also believe this study relating to waterfowl on mud hens or Coots are of interest to conservationist.
